Recently, Ouyang Yongqing, Director of Chongling National Wetland Park in Guiyang County, was invited to teach the second and third National Wetland Park Construction and Management Training Courses in 2019. Guiyang's experiences and practices in the construction of national wetland parks have been highly praised by the Wetland Management Department of the State Forestry and Grassland Administration and the trainees of the training course. The "Chongling Model" for the construction of national wetland parks has been promoted to the whole country.

There are 5 national wetland parks (including pilot projects) in Chenzhou. The Chongling National Wetland Park in Guiyang County is the second National Wetland Park listed as "national name" in the city, a planned total area of 3220 hectares, which is a typical river-reservoir-pond wetland park with profound cultural and historical background and rich water resources and biodiversity.

In December 2013, the park was approved by the State Forestry Administration and qualified for the construction of the pilot national wetland park. In January 2019, the National Wetland Park was officially licensed after five years of protection and construction.

Over the past five years, Guiyang County has taken the construction and management of Chongling National Wetland Park as a concrete action to implement ecological priority and green development, and further implement the development strategy of the Yangtze River Economic Zone. It has been listed as the "No. 1 Project" for the construction of ecological civilization in the county, with high-level leadership, systematic management, and comprehensive start-up and implementation of wetland protection and restoration projects.

In the specific implementation process, Guiyang County has adhered to the construction idea of "comprehensive protection, scientific restoration, rational utilization and sustainable development" to optimize the ecological environment. In order to promote the improvement of water quality, Guiyang County has woven ecological agriculture protection network, livestock breeding protection network, industrial wastewater discharge protection network and rural environmental sanitation protection network to control source water while fully implementing river chief system. The county has also divided all the surrounding forests of the Wetland Park into public welfare forests, strictly prohibited deforestation, planted 1,200 mu of aquatic plants in the wetland restoration and reconstruction area, and built 14,000 mu of water conservation forest; has completely prohibited sand mining and dam enclosure, and cracked down on destructive wetland activities such as indiscriminate hunting by delimiting the ecological red line and carrying out the "fight" of ecological renovation; has focused on building a long-term mechanism, establishing a joint defense patrol system with public security, fisheries, wetland parks and surrounding villages and towns as the main body, and building the monitoring system to closely monitor and protect the ecosystem and wildlife in wetland parks.

Guiyang County has grasped the soul of wetland protection and construction, and built "two platforms" of popular science education and scientific research monitoring, so as to make the concept of ecological civilization construction deeply rooted in the hearts of the people; has built a distinctive wetland propaganda center, set up a wetland natural school and other social multi-channel propaganda media, and carried out normal wetland propaganda activities; has cooperated with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), the Institute of Subtropical Agricultural Ecology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Central South University of Forestry Science and Technology to carry out monitoring activities to manage wetland parks with test results.

After long-term effective construction and management, the ecosystem of Chongling National Wetland Park in Guiyang County has been increasingly stable and optimized, the water quality of the wetland has been greatly improved, the habitat environment of animals and plants has been significantly improved, and the species and quantity of wildlife have increased significantly, which has become an important base for the construction of ecological civilization in Guiyang County.
